Christian Mengel
Industry strategist, Independent
A cross-industry strategist's take on where DMOs are actually headed in the next 24 months.
Christian joined the show live from the Kansas City airport — which somehow captures exactly what he brings to a conversation. Three 2026 predictions, a candid take on DMO identity, and the uncomfortable question most destination leaders are asking each other in private without a real answer.
Episodes featuring Christian.
